The Reformed Church of Ennetbühl was established in 1755.
It is associated with the Swiss Reformed Church, which follows the Reformed (Calvinist) tradition of Protestant Christianity. This denomination is one of the largest in Switzerland and is rooted in the teachings of reformers such as Huldrych Zwingli and John Calvin. The Swiss Reformed Church is known for its emphasis on scripture, simplicity in worship, and a decentralized church structure.
Ennetbühl became an independent parish for the Reformed community. Prior to its establishment, parishioners from Ennetbühl were part of the parishes of Nesslau or Krummenau.
Ennetbühl is a village located in the municipality of Nesslau, within the Toggenburg region of the canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland. The municipality of Nesslau was formed on January 1, 2013, through the merger of the former municipalities of Nesslau-Krummenau and Stein.
The Toggenburg region, where Ennetbühl is situated, is characterized by its diverse landscape, including flat terrain, gently rolling hills, and jagged mountains. Historically, the inhabitants of this region primarily engaged in farming, with the weaving industry providing a supplementary income. The emergence of the manual embroidery industry led to the conversion of domestic weaving cellars into embroidery workshops.
Today, Ennetbühl and its surrounding areas offer various recreational activities, such as the Schneeschuhtrail Hemberg–Ennetbühl, a snowshoe trail that allows visitors to explore the picturesque landscapes of the region.

Dörfli is a small settlement located in the Meien Valley (Meiental), which is a picturesque valley in the Uri Canton of Switzerland. The valley is part of the Reuss River basin and is nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps, offering a stunning blend of natural beauty, alpine meadows, and rugged mountain landscapes.
Location & Surroundings
Meien Valley (Meiental):
The valley stretches between Wassen (at the base) and the Susten Pass, a high mountain pass connecting the cantons of Uri and Bern.
It is a key part of the Susten Pass road, one of Switzerland's most scenic routes, renowned for its sweeping curves, tunnels, and breathtaking vistas.
Dörfli:
Dörfli is a small hamlet (the name means "little village" in German) located near the lower part of the Meien Valley.
It is a traditional alpine settlement with a handful of houses, typically built in the classic Swiss chalet style with wooden facades and sloping roofs to handle heavy snow in winter.
Key Features
Natural Beauty:
Dörfli and the surrounding Meien Valley are known for their lush green pastures in summer and pristine snow-covered landscapes in winter.
Towering peaks, glacial streams, and waterfalls make it a haven for nature lovers.
Hiking and Mountaineering:
The area is popular among hikers and climbers, offering trails that range from gentle walks to challenging ascents.
Trails often lead toward the Susten Pass or higher alpine areas, with stunning views of peaks like Sustenhorn and Gwächtenhorn.
Traditional Alpine Life:
The hamlet maintains its alpine charm, with agriculture, especially cattle farming, being a primary activity.
In summer, cattle graze on the alpine pastures, contributing to the region’s cheese-making tradition.
Access
The Susten Pass road runs through the valley, making it accessible by car or bike during the open season (typically June–October, as the pass is closed in winter due to snow).
In winter, the valley is quieter but can be a great destination for snowshoeing or backcountry skiing.

Susten Glacier, visible in this image (Susten-Gletscher) originates on the Sustenhorn, a prominent peak in the Swiss Alps. Here's a breakdown:
Susten Glacier and Its Origins
Sustenhorn (3,502 m):
The Sustenhorn is the primary mountain associated with the Susten Glacier. The glacier descends from the slopes of this peak, which lies on the border between the cantons of Uri and Bern.
The glacier feeds into the Stein Glacier (Steingletscher), a larger glacier system that is visible from the Susten Pass road.
Wenderhorn (3,019 m):
The Wenderhorn is in the same region and contributes to the surrounding glacial systems though it is not directly linked to the Susten Glacier.
The Wenderhorn is a smaller, less prominent peak near the Sustenhorn and other significant peaks like Gwächtenhorn (3,420 m).
Glacial System Context
The Susten Glacier is part of the larger glacial landscape around the Susten Pass. Other nearby glaciers, such as the Stein Glacier, are also fed by surrounding peaks, including the Sustenhorn, Gwächtenhorn, and Chelenalphorn.

We'd previously driven down the northern side of the Churfirsten Range on our way to Vaduz from the Rhine Falls so it was good to see it again from the other side.
The Churfirsten mountains, composed mainly of limestone, are part of the Appenzell Alps, situated in the canton of St. Gallen, along the northern shore of Lake Walensee.
The range consists of seven prominent peaks, often seen as iconic when viewed from Lake Walensee. These spectacular peaks include:
Selun (2,205 m)
Frümsel (2,267 m)
Brisi (2,279 m)
Zuestoll (2,235 m)
Schibenstoll (2,237 m)
Hinterrugg (2,306 m)
Chäserrugg (2,262 m)
Numerous trails lead to the peaks and offer breathtaking views of Walensee and the surrounding valleys.
The Chäserrugg peak, accessible by cable car from Unterwasser, is a popular destination for skiing and snowboarding.
The dramatic cliffs of the Churfirsten are ideal for paragliding and the contrast between the steep northern faces of the Churfirsten range and the calm waters of Walensee create a stunning natural landscape.
